“Body positive” has become a buzzword in the social media world over the last few years, but it’s so much more than that. Body positivity is a social movement rooted in the belief that all humans should have a positive body image, despite what society and the media portrays. The biggest foundation of the movement is the belief that all bodies should be accepted, no matter the size, form or appearance. In a world of online trolls, it has been beautiful to see strong, inspirational women using their platform for advocacy and positivity. Read on to meet some of our favorite body positive bloggers who are making waves and helping us make the world a better place.
